The article doesn't give a direct quotation of the law(translated to English). Above is the most specific the article gets concerning the content of the law. It doesn't sound good for women but, I'm not sure it actually sanctions rape.
It doesn't sanction rape but it is a lot more sensational to phrase it like that.

The law is obviously stupid and not great for women but "legalized rape" is a pretty misleading phrase and really an outright lie.
